  • Focusing-Oriented Therapy: Learning How the Body Speaks and Listening so It Heals

    Focusing-Oriented Therapy: Learning How the Body Speaks and Listening so It Heals

    This two-day workshop will teach you the basics of Focusing and show you how to help clients find and speak from their felt sense of a situation, which is the way the body holds experience.

    This naturally occurring process helps clients shift from distraction and disconnection to being connected and present so they feel safe and remain regulated. This allows clients to befriend their experience so that they can unwind chronically stuck and traumatic experiences safely and re-connect with their whole self.

    TBA
    Time: 9:00 to 4:30
    Place: Vashon
    Cost: $345.00

    When: Six Thursdays, November 29th through January 3rd, from 6:00 pm to 7:15 pm

    Email: with subject “Help me relax!” to jeffrey@morrisontherapy.com

    Focusing is an experiential, embodied and relational process at the heart of all change. I have taught Focusing to therapists and other healing professionals for years. Now I want to share this amazing process with you personally.

    Focusing promotes a healthier relationship with the person who stands in the way of change — you! Learn to be more patient, peaceful and present as you shift your way of experiencing and shape your own process of change.

    Change is not something we force. It is a way of being with our body’s innate knowing and wisdom. We all have an inner GPS, guidance system of knowing. What we lack is a way of knowing how the system works. Focusing will help you learn how: Guaranteed!
